Week One: Trial
27 in Competition

It may be difficult to sleep with the light shining so brightly throughout the night, but the participants can rest easy knowing they will not be plagued by unwanted, disturbing dreams. Early the next day, a bell chimes and all will feel compelled to enter the main meeting hall.

The hall looks mostly the same as it always has, the two thrones for Lune and Sol at the head of the room and scrolls hanging from the walls. The metal box sits on a table near the front, along with a glass box perfectly centered before the benches in the room. Now that the trial is in session, Tokidoki, Nana, and Junna's coffins are open, and their bodies will be available for examination.

Lune and Sol are seated in their thrones, patiently waiting for the last participant to settle. Sol remains quiet, looking over to Lune to allow them to speak first.

"Even if it is a rather daunting task ahead of you, I hope that each of you will not lose hope. One step at a time, one step at a time. It is not hopeless."

When they finish, Sol sits up a little taller in their seat to address everyone.

"I'm only going to say this once. I know it's not an ideal situation, but...the votes count, and the universe only gives one warning. Can we try not to repeat last week?" There's a pause. "You have nine hours. Let's start."

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the second trial!

We'll go over a few notes briefly as we will be playing this trial a bit differently than other games.

As noted, there was no investigation period on Friday. However, today participants will have the chance to investigate areas in the game setting as they see fit! This can be done by providing the name of the location you want to visit to the host header comment. To help with the ease of the trial and for IC mechanics, only one location may be visited at a time. In addition, these locations can be manipulated and adjusted upon request to test theories and solve puzzles, so please feel free to ask if you're searching for clues! Your host will also be accompanying you on these visits.

Most importantly, before the trial is over, please place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously.

If you have any questions at any time, please let do us know by pinging us on Discord! Dana and Ty will be in the chat and available for all questions. Thank you, and have fun!

[ hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

There are kids here?

[ HE HAS SO MANY TEENAGE GIRLS WHO HE TRUSTS NO ONE TO CHECK ON SORRY ]

[wagashis]

...and we missed an injury on a young culprit last time. We were still successful, and I personally have no interest in assisting with that [he's not a creep, thank you] but... we're dealing with more, this time.

[a gesture at the screen, there.]

At least that was acquired for us.

[leaberator]

[ shirasu is right but axel 1) hates it 2) has hisoka for a partner and hates it even more ]

... Someone needs to be responsible for checking people, though.

[ he's not making any of the teenagers strip and he's not sure who they could get. to watch over ]

[wagashis]

Someone of the same sex and similar age, if they're comfortable with that. If they refuse in general, I'm not suggesting we force anyone.

[leaberator]

[ .... sighs ]

I guess that's fine.

[tothemaxwell]

Lea.

What of your own garments?

[leaberator]

[ hm. he is trying not to reflexively :T at milla because he knows he has no real reason to, but. feelings are dumb. ]

What about them?

[ thank you for asking like usual he is wearing three shirts, including one that is like, mid thigh length and plaid because hot topic, but instead of his usual hooded vest he is wearing a cute hedgehog hoodie today uwu


he also makes no move to remove any of them ]

[papawolf]

[ omg why the hedgie hood ]

[leaberator]

[ he is easily bullied by teenage girls ]

[papawolf]

[ easily bullied by everyone it seems ]

[leaberator]

[ it's true but you shouldn't say it? ]

[papawolf]

[ feral can't say anything ]

[tothemaxwell]

Ah. Do you require the assistance of a man? I understand the intricacies of removing your garments for someone who appears a woman such as myself.

[leaberator]

...

I dunno where to start with that.

[ like. this entire. sentence? is a lot to parse through. but he is going to roll up his sleeves and take off his (stupid, heeled) boots so he can pull up his?? tights??? leggings??? tetsuya nomura please tell me???? to do the Bare Minimum

it is somehow less skin than he normally shows and that is not something i thought i'd ever say about axel ]

Happy?

[tothemaxwell]

[She isn't.]

Are you so reluctant? Hmm. I will see if any men are free. I know Ookurikara was assisting, as well...

[unfriendliest]

[ uuuuugh he hates this but he's here, looking between milla and axelea with an eyebrow raised expectantly.

go on. strip. ]

[tothemaxwell]

[She gives Ookurikara a nod.

Yeah! This guy is great.]

[leaberator]

[ PLACES THE TAG AT THE RIGHT AREA ]

Yeaaah, I'm not stripping more than this. For anyone.

[unfriendliest]

[ coward.

but he did the bare minimum as decided by shess so. whatever. kara shrugs so if milla wants more, she's on her own. ]

[tothemaxwell]

[She levels both of them with a gaze

somehow it feels like a disappointed parent??????]

[unfriendliest]

[ he's only here because lili asked go judge someone else ]

[leaberator]

[ :T :T :T ]

[blackcoats]

[ why are y'all insisting her mom get naked ]

[leaberator]

[ thanks daughter ]

[blackcoats]

[ at least do it when she's out of the room??? what she doesn't know won't hurt her ]
